My XDA App (I use Premium) actually FC's randomly, does that happen to anyone else? Be a tragedy if it continues :D

Nope Ive been using it a lot. Did you actually pay or did you dl from third party?
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
This is a real easy fix if you use Linux. Make a copy of launcher2.apk from v8 and place it in a labeled folder on your internal SD card and also on your PC. Also place launcher2.apk from v7 on PC. Open up v7 version and navigate to res/drawable-hdpi. Open drawable/hdpi, scroll down to the wallpapers and double click each wallpaper till you identify the one you want. Copy/paste or extract it to an empty folder. Then open up launcher2.apk of v8 again going to res/drawable-hdpi. Decide which wallpaper you can live without. First rename the version (v7) you placed in the empty folder to the exact name as the one you decide you can live without, then delete that v8 version. Replace it with the renamed file in the empty folder. Close up .apk, place on either internal or external SD card. Copy/paste into system/app folder. Fix the permissions by longpressing to bring up a drop down menu. Set to (rw-r--r--) You may need to reboot. Congratulate yourself, you've just created a Frankenstien! (creation altered by an...ugh...inferior mind/methods, lol) If something goes wrong (ingratiate youself to Neo, beg fogiveness and send a donation) you have an original in that folder on the internal SD. BTW, I always replace the small wallpapers too, don't know if it's necessary. Each wallpaper has a large and small.

Anyone is having problems with the reboot from the power menu not working?

I can reboot into recovery just fine but regular reboot just turn off the phone. I tried to look in previous posts couldn't find anything besides clearing both caches which I did and it didn't solve the problem.

I don't have any FC or other issues with the phone so I don't think it's a bad flash.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I paid the buck fitty, it's legit from the market. I'm running v8, don't remember this happening with v7. Launcher was force closing for awhile too, maybe I should try that build.prop edit.
[Vibrant Android Development] SlakWReX:
I had the same problem. Last 3 times I've rebooted they worked. Maybe wait it out.
[Vibrant Android Development] SlakWReX:
Well I downloaded mine from 4shared lol and no fc. And look earlier into the forum I read there was a fix for the launcher fc. Ima look for it if I find it I'll repost for you.

In a car accident outside your coverage area, you'd want e911 (like if the accident happens outside your city while visiting in-laws or something over the holidays). e911 lets you connect using whatever network is available to your phone, wherever you are. If you have network coverage, 911 is able to just use that and it is supposed to work (though I was also told that it freezes the phone sometimes on CM7, and this is using the same code we wrote). This is the reason why CM7 is no longer supporting Vibrant - hopefully you guys can fix it because I've given up trying . . .
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
Hey atinm, I know you've been flamed a lot and been blamed for the dropped support for the Vibrant. I honestly don't know why.. you were the only one trying to fix the problem. But thanks for taking the time and trying, and not giving up easily. Like you said, hopefully someone else can fix it, but either way.. thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] |Logic|:
I'm assuming you already tried to fix permissions? fix permissions fixed all of my gallery problems. Though my launcher was still slow and laggy, but I am back on adw ex and perfectly happy with it.
[Vibrant Android Development] vnamee:
Another bug I haven't seen reported (maybe it's just me), but its related to the phone app. On one occasion, I was in the middle of a phone call and backed out of the screen to check a calender. The OS suddenly restarted w/ that colorful booting animation and then reloaded as normal. It wouldn't have been THAT odd except the phone call was still connected and I was talking and everything fine.

I've since had 2 other times where I would be doing something on my phone (I couldn't say what and I can't reproduce it) but I would hit the phone button and it would suddenly reboot to the animation. The reboots all look like 'soft' resets as opposed to 'hard' rests that go back out to the bootloader. All these resets all seem to be related w/ the phone app somehow.
[Vibrant Android Development] :
I did, but awhile ago. I just did that build.prop edit, erased dalvik cache/cache partition, and fix-permissions again so we'll see. I'm not really picky about design, I just want my phone to work :p

I'm actually thinking of carrying around my old candybar as a backup for E911.

ok i got v8 running like a champ.

the only issue i believe i have left is the Mediaserver bug. In my battery stats its still showing that its using 31% of the battery after doing all the tips to fix it. This is what i have done so far.

unticked the photo sync

froze DRM protected control storage

forced stopped Media Storage and cleared data

added .nomedia to cwm, titanium folders and a few other folders i didnt want it to scan

rebooted.... a few times

I'm still at 31% battery use for Mediaserver. Is there something i missed. should i disable something in autostarts and am i suppose to freeze the media storage?
[Vibrant Android Development] philow:
No Lock Screen

I ran into a weird issue. After my /datadata partition filled up and I was boot looping I decided to format the /datadata in recovery. Boot loop went away but so did my lock screen. I can set it to pattern, sldoe, even pin but the phone never locks. I assume there was something in the /datadata patrician but I really do not know what that would cause that to happen.

Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] vinnydakid:
I hear a lot of people are having problems with the launcher. If you want to fix that try installing Nova launcher. It's the stock ICS launcher with some tweaks made specifically for the GNexus and all ICS phones. I haven't had one FC with it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Arhum1994:
i love your rom so much but i have a problem with it.Ok i had first flashed v7 and there were no lags in it but some force closes were present.Then i flashed v8 and again there force closes in it especially in the gallery app.So i followed the previous post by someone(sorry for not remembering your name) about Lag and i then Odin'd to Lidroid and then reflashed v8 again after downloading again from a different link.

Now the force closes are gone but there is still lag in the launcher and it sometimes forcecloses too with the error "launcher.exe has stopped working".Now i dont experience any lag in other stuff for e.g scrolling thorugh menus,sliding down notifications bar etc.the only lag i experience is in the launcher when i open the menu and scroll through the pages of apps and the homescreens.:confused:

So please could you suggest some fix for this.I really appreciate and so much like your work that i dont wanna leave this awesome rom:cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] roundel77:

Don't be mad to somebody who is trying to help you. You have to realize, when flashing these ROMS, you ALWAYS have a risk of data loss OR worse. You should ALWAYS have your data backed up to your computer, unless you are not afraid to lose it.

You can delete data for DSP with Titanium Backup or with App mangement.

You can use all other settings just DO NOT use the EQ ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] PigProtist:
Still getting terrible battery life on v8. Note that the near-horizontal line on the graph was while I was asleep. The sloped parts are when the phone was in use. I've flashed each version of this ROM several times every time a new one comes out in the hopes that it was just a bad flash, but I don't think it could be messed up that many times. And it's not my battery itself, as the battery life on CM7 is muuuch better.

Oh, and in the time it took to post this from my phone, the battery dropped 4%.
[Vibrant Android Development] hmpohjola:

I was experiencing a lot of the same problems with V8 stated in this thread. Problems with lag, FC's here and there, no GPS. I finally bit the bullet and Odin'd back to stock following these instructions:

Odin Version Of Lidroid 3.0.0 JVT For Bootloader

1.Flash To Stock JFD (Dont Skip This)

2.Go To Clock Work Recovery

3.Flash Lidroid.zip

4.Reboot And Wait 15 Mins. Then Reboot Again

5.Charge 100% Then Calibrate Battery

Follow Directions For Best Results...

Done ...

Enjoy...

......and then flashed V8. Slowly, addeded apps back with Titanium back up with no data and waited for the ROM's reaction. So far, 12+ hours it is still snappy, alright battery and only 1 launcher FC - no problem with that.

Great ROM neo! Stay strong and keep up the great work!

Well in that graph, the sloped areas were when I was lying in bed using the phone nonstop, but that's still almost half the battery life I usually get when I do that. The first slope was around an hour (maybe two), then I went to sleep.

hey Neo a quick Bug report.

Launcher FC's - randomly seems most common when phones locked for long periods of time or when entering the app drawer

Random reboots - Most common when ending a prolonged Phone conversation

Very rarely but still odd, on occasion when unlocking the device it reads the unlock as camera and opens to the camera application.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Not Bugs but general user experience

Battery is decent (running on my 4th full cycle) not as good as V5-6.5 gave me, but still adaquate for daily usage

UI is Smooth and quick. sometimes can get a little chopped up with a LWP but not often - Smoother then V5-6.5 But not as smooth as V7

Phone seems stable for the "most part" the random odd glitches ie Reboots launcher FC's aside everything works together well.

Heres to Hoping V9 or maybe an update to V8 can sort out the launcher and reboot issues. Thanks for yours and your teams hard work.
[Vibrant Android Development] shinglers:
If this has been discussed previously sorry I'm at work and can't search but if it hasn't it needs to be. I haven't had this issues in previous versions. My external SD card keeps getting unknown file system. I format with my phone and I still get the error. I have more than one card and it does it with all 3 of them. I have pulled it for now....just FYI.
[Vibrant Android Development] mr_psycho:
These two "dalvik.vm" entries at the very end of the /system/build.prop file can simply be removed or commented out by putting a "#" at the beginning, like:

#dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode=false

#dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v=n,o=v

The "dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=m=y" line is already in the build.prop file under the previous section. No sense creating a duplicate entry, if you don't need to.

[Vibrant Android Development] DonutYankee:
So a day after installing this a second time, ROM is *much* faster than my initial flash. The two problems that remain are: Launcher FC, (though much less now after that build.prop edit, before it would literally crash every time I used it), and just now a random soft reboot while sending a text.

[Vibrant Android Development] kjdiehl:
I've got to second the SLOW and methodical reinstallation of apps via TB. I have about 150 apps that I usually restore, (WITHOUT data,) and if I try to do them all at once, the phone invariably locks up and requires a complete reflash or Nandroid restore. I've finally achieved a seemingly stable system by only TB restoring about 50-75 apps at a time, slowly and carefully doing Market updates, and rebooting in between each step. Despite this, the low-mem warning still crops up during the restore process, but if i let the phone sit it will eventually go away. At which time I reboot to let everything settle.

[Vibrant Android Development] boystuff:
both internals and external has worked flawlessly for myself. so possibly a bad flash or a corrupted download. attempt redownloading V8 and reflashing.
[Vibrant Android Development] philow:

[Vibrant Android Development] AgentFour20:
I had to reflash Passion V8 but before flashing wipe data/factory reset , wipe dalvik cache in advanced , format/system in mounts and storage . If you use Titanium backup do not restore with data thats what will screw it up . If possible dont use Titanium Backup .
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
Are you talking about restoring System data? Ive never done that before, only apps & data.
